Chiz Fri Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Holy Rapier Dragon Dragon / Effect ATK: 2750 / DEF: 2150 When this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing damage to your opponent. Once per turn: You can banish 1 Dragon-Type monster you control to target 1 Defense Position monster your opponent controls; destroy that target. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterr259 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Looks underpowered. What exactly were you going for when you made this? Unless the the banished dragon benefits from it(Chaos Dragons?) seems UP especially being only able to pop a def monster and unable to attack after. How about changing it to destroy any monster?

Trebuchet MS Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Card grammar is somewhat inaccurate. Let me adjust this... When this card destroys an opponent's attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. Once per turn: You can banish 1 Dragon-Type monster you control to destroy target 1 Defense Position monster your opponent controls; destroy that target. This card cannot attack the turn you activate this effect. It's a somewhat okay card, being able to push for good damage through monsters turtling in defense position, and popping walls it can't surmount. However, for its Level, its ATK is lacking, and most other monsters of its tier will just slug it in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The card is meant to be used however anyone who uses it sees fit, though it would seem to support Chaos Dragons the most. How strange... Also I kind of tried to make this card super effective against decks/cards that benefit from being in Defense Position. Ergo the pairing of both piercing and Defense Position destruction.

The piercing damage wordings always confuse me when I write them because my only physical source material came from before PSCT. I edited the card grammar and bumped up both the ATK and DEF of the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 2750 ATK is acceptable. Although it's just shy of the magic 2800 ATK that most key beaters might sport, it now has enough muscle to crush a fair number of monsters and do significant damage when piercing.

I guess it's okay like this. I only recommened changing his effect to destroy defense position monsters to any monster to make it seem more worth banishing 1 dragon (outside of Chaos decks/dragons).

Im the prince of the ring! Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 The stats are good for this card, but the effects aren't worth it. The piercing battle damage is okay enough as it is, but by giving up the attack for this card and by banishing a dragon you control to pop a defense position monster is stretching it. I feel like it's a potential minus to you. Just keep the piercing part and it'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
